About us

Token is a comedy company that started a very long time ago, before the internet, before the floppy disk, before the e-ticket, when people read newspapers and having a fax number meant you were ready for business. Token manages the best comedians in Australia and takes them on the road, finding audiences in festivals, opera houses, theatres, clubs, pubs and anywhere else with a decent PA. We put on shows in big cities and small towns all over Australia and occasionally in other parts of the world, particularly in London and Edinburgh. We have been putting on shows in the Melbourne Comedy Festival since 1993 and we’re the biggest producer of comedy in Australia’s comedy festival circuit. We work with our clients on stage, screen, online and in print managing all commercial matters and providing our ridiculously talented artists the creative space to be the best. We have in-house PR, legal, finance and marketing expertise that is second to none. We have global relationships, keeping our clients busy on multiple continents with the kind of deep relationships that only comes from a couple of decades of frequent flyer points. We are part of a group of companies that also includes the television production company Guesswork Television, and the management company Creative Representation. These combined resources mean that we can meet any challenge our artists throw at us and we have the experience to weather the headwinds of change in the media business. We really love working with comedians and we are lucky enough to only work with the best, from household names that you may have grown up with to new faces that look to redefine funny. If you want to work with the best comedians in the country then you should call us.

    "Dilruk had the entire room roaring with laughter throughout his set. His ability to weave humor into the fabric of the event added a refreshing and memorable dimension to the evening. Not only did he entertain us with his hilarious anecdotes and observations, but he also skilfully navigated the delicate balance of incorporating relevant themes from the legal world." - LCA Immigration Law Conference 2024 Do you have an event coming up?
